Enter the length and your row gauge.

How to use it

  1. Measure your row gauge: rows over 4 inches (or 10 cm) on a washed swatch.
  2. Enter the length the piece needs to be.
  3. Tick 'even' if you need to end on a particular side, such as a wrong-side row.

Questions

How do I calculate rows for a length?

Multiply the length by your rows per inch. 10 inches at 7 rows per inch is 70 rows.

Why does my row gauge matter?

Row gauge sets length in patterns that count rows, such as raglans, colorwork and sleeve shaping. If yours differs, the piece will be longer or shorter.

Rows or rounds?

The same math works for both: count rounds per 4 inches if you work in the round.
